Going out shopping in heels

[LauraCassidy]

As I am about to go out shopping en femme for the first time over the next few weeks I am wondering if any of you girls [GGs included] have gone shopping in stilettos with 4.5 inch heels or higher ???

Yes, but only for a short (Hah! That's a pun! Get it? Oh, never mind) time.

I have gone out wearing boots with stilletto heels but only between 3 1/2 to four inches. Certainly not the most comfortable no matter how sexy they look.

[Sandra]

No I like to be comfy when shopping, not walking around with sore aching feet.

This one reminds me of going to Southern Comfort and watching girls walk around all day with heels on. By the end of the day you can sit and watch many of them waddling along because thier feet are done for.

SCC is truely entertaining I do have to say!!

I always do my shopping wearing 2.5 or 3 inch heels and I can walk for ages before my feet start to hurt. I am not sure about 4.5 inches although last summer I saw a GG with similar sized heels at my local supermarket.

Careful girl! It takes time to walk on such high heels and, ven if you practice, its much more dofficult on the concrete than in the house. Leave the high heels for clubbing

[Loni]

not sure about shopping...but i did see a gg hobbling along on crutches going into the hospital with one leg all wraped up.

she went to a club in High heels, not sure if broken or just spraned.:eek:

get your ankles up to it first.

Went out for the first time in new pumps and after a couple blocks they started to grow and my foot would come out. I've always worn shoes with ankle straps and wasn't prepared for the walk back with my feet slipping in and out. You might want to take along another pair of known comfort heels just in case.

No. Stilettos (meaning a very small heel area) are hard to walk in. In addition, they get caught in grates, seams in the pavement, and tricky little cracks. And stay off the grass!

I see GG's shopping in heels of all sizes, but they have more heel cross-section area.
I find 3-3 1/2" perfectly comfortable for long wear, provided the heel area is big enough.

Laura,

I love heels, but when shopping, unless you are in a beautiful 2 piece business suit....you are not blending at all...not to mention the pain...if your doing some serious shopping

Now if blending does not matter, and you are just hitting a store or 2 then going to lunch...then knock your stockings off and have a ball!

When i shop i like to wear a casual skirt and blouse with a wedge or small heel pending on the season... sometimes a sandle in the summer.

good luck to you and i hope you have a wonderful time.

I envy you, as i have not been out in quite a while. :sad:

Sure I've been out in 4'' heels a few times. Only on special occasions, though. I did, however, spend most of the time sitting down, and they were the first thing to come off when I got home.
Hi-heels are great for people my height... 5' 3''. They make my legs look longer. But you can't wear them all the time.
I don't know about you, but my legs begin to hurt in a short while during walking or dancing in anything over 2.5''.
The younger gals here may be able to go longer in them, though.
:love:

is what matters to me. Stilettos are just too dangerous unless you go to an indoor mall. I usually wear a delightful pair of wedge sandals with 4" heels. They are more stable and still very sexy.

I like heels even when shopping but stiletto's are too classy for shopping.

heels when out shopping. About a 3 inch is the most that one can wear for any length of time it seems. But there are those that have better feet than mine I would suspect.:eek:

[Terri Andrews]

I am a bit of a shoe nut ,when out I always take three pair of shoes .A pair of flats ,mid heel and 3 or 4" pair . When shopping I use the mid heel and the higher when I stop for a night cap on the way home .I would love to wear the higher heel when shopping ,but I draw less attention with the lower heels .

in contrast to the other posts, I often shop in stilletos. Although most of my heels are 4+ inches, i prefer platforms, which are much easier and more comfortable to walk in. For example, I wear this shoe

which has a 5 1/4 in heel but a 1.5 inch platform - so really a 3.75 in heel. This shoe is my all-time favorite (I am on my second pair):

In contrast, I am just learning to walk in this one:

Another tip: tall flare jeans (Gap Long and Lean) and flare slacks really work well with really high heels - very sexy

When I travel, I take my "driving" boots; they have a 4 1/2" heel with a platform. The other day my wife wanted some Bare Minerals, so I stopped by a mall in another state. No one knew me, so my "driving" boots became my "mall" boots (under my jeans). It was amazing; I got a few looks but most never noticed.

I love it!!
